OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOU WILL SEE ME IN CAPE TOWN

A spiritual message captured on canvas. Accompanying poem published by the Poetry Institute of Africa – Size: 1m x 1.5m Size: 1.5 m x1 m Open Your Eyes and you will see me... I shall touch your darkest night with my fingers of golden sunlight. Seeping over the curves of your earth embracing you with the warmth of my mirth. Pure as the crest on rising swells my desire trapped in luminous shells I lay my passion at your sandy feet withdrawing in timeless motion each time we meet. You may count my moods in a single cloud a distant flock of sheep moving without sound slowly spreading puffs of grey and cream against my lonely sky of aquamarine. You may hear me sing your song on the lips of the wind forlorn and I shall whisper your name with the swish or the wild mare's mane You may feel my sorrow in the shadow of geese passing over the meadow.... You may drink from the silver of my eye in memory, not even time can buy... Kobie Matthee
